A nuclear family consists of

A 151.5-g sample of a metal at 75.0°C is added to 151.5 g at 15.1°C. The temperature of the water rises to 18.7°C. Calculate the

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.268 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the metal = 151.5 grams

The temperature of the metal = 75.0 °C

Temperature of water = 15.1 °C

The temperature of the water rises to 18.7°C.

The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/°C*g

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal

heat lost = heat gained

Q = m*c*ΔT

Qmetal = - Qwater

m(metal) * c(metal) * ΔT(metal) = m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of the metal = 151.5 grams

⇒ c(metal) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT( metal) = T2 - T1 = 18.7 °C - 75.0 °C = -56.3 °C

⇒ mass of the water = 151.5 grams

⇒ c(water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = 18.7° - 15.1 = 3.6 °C

151.5g * c(metal) * -56.3°C = 151.5g * 4.184 J/g°C * 3.6 °C

c(metal) = 0.268 J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.268 J/g°C

The standard cell potential Ec for the reduction of silver ions with elemental copper is 0.46V at 25 degrees celsius. calculate

Cloud [144]

Answer : The $\Delta G$ for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)$

Here, magnesium (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :

Oxidation : $Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction : $2Ag^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag$

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons to balance the reaction = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

$E^o$ = standard e.m.f of cell = 0.46 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

$\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times 0.46)=-88780J/mole$

Therefore, the $\Delta G$ for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Identify three factors that characterize aquatic systems

givi [52]

While terrestrial biomes are shaped by air temperature and precipitation, aquatic systems are characterized by factors such as water salinity, depth, and whether the water is moving or standing. If that's what you mean?

How many electrons will a neon (Ne) atom have when it has no charge?

Darya [45]

Answer:

hope it helps you

Explanation:

Once one shell is full, the next electron that is added has to move to the next shell. So... for the element of NEON, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 10 electrons in a neon atom.
